The A5x is an affordable access point that does not compromise on quality and performance. It is the perfect solution for both new network setups and expanding existing coverage, all at a fraction of the cost of fiber. Its low cost and easy deployment ensures a faster return on investment.
A5x
Cost-Effective PTMP Option
Compact and powerful, the A5x is built for short to mid-range pole and tower point-to-multipoint (PTMP) applications. In situations where the power and range of the 4x4 A5c access point isn't needed, the connectorized, 2x2 A5x is the perfect solution.

Fiber-Fast Speeds
Breaking the barriers to entry, the A5x is a connectorized, 2x2 access point that delivers fiber-like speeds of up to 700 Mbps (IP).
Get Around the Noise
The wide frequency of the A5x, 4.9–6.4* GHz with the RoW product, allows affordable access to more low-noise spectrum for increased speeds and reliability—especially paired with SRS (GPS sync) for channel reuse.
*The A5x supports 5150–5850 MHz in the U.S. (FCC), Europe (ETSI), and Canada (CA). For rest of world (ROW), the A5x supports 4900–6400 MHz.
Going the Distance
The Mimosa Design Tool streamlines planning and validating PTP and PTMP deployments with a few clicks on a map. This intuitive tool simplifies connectivity evaluation by using visual aids like terrain elevation to estimate performance and reliability, automatically accounting for factors such as weather and tree clutter.
Recommended High-Performance Antenna
While almost any 2x2 3rd party antenna will work with the A5x, the Mimosa N5-45x2 comes most recommended. Get all the ground coverage of a sector, along with the sidelobe rejection of a horn.

The A5x supports 5150–5850 MHz in the U.S. (FCC), Europe (ETSI), and Canada (CA). For rest of world (ROW), the A5x supports 4900–6400 MHz.
The connectorized A5x works with most 2x2 3rd party antennas, as well as Mimosa's N5-45x2 sector.
Due to the fact that the A5x is a 2x2 access point, beamforming is not a feature. Anyone interested in beamforming should look into the 4x4 A5c.
The A5x has a cost advantage over the A5c, making it easier to expand or start a new network, and get quicker ROI. If the 4x4, beamforming power of the A5c isn't necessary, the A5x is a great solution.
